bau[wow]haus

The title is borderline illegal, however the design was for a charity event, so any and all asinine wordplays should be excused.

The doghouse, based on the popular De Stijl "three color box" print that is ubiquitous in contemporary/ modern dining rooms, doubles as an attractive lawn ornament or garden folly. It is loosely based on the Bauhaus design principles, so the product is targeted at dogs who subscribe to the tenants of Russian Constructivism and Supermatism and reject the hierarchical and structural inadequacies and political ambiguity of pre-Bolshevik era expressionism, although I suppose really any dog could use it.
